Tips & Tricks

Not all caramels are equal, the flavour comes from your sugar. We've got 3 versions each tasting different levels of gorgeousness thanks to Billington's unrefined muscovado sugars. Love a deep rich treacle flavour? then molasses is the sugar. Prefer a lighter sweeter caramel? Use light muscovado sugar. Like a deep, richer flavour? Dark muscovado is for you. The possibilities are endless, drizzle this onto steamed puddings, ice cream, or stir into porridge or fill chocolates with them. Who wouldn't want a jar of this in their Christmas stocking?

Salted Caramel Sauce Three Ways

What's a crumble without the custard? This recipe is for a simple, silky smooth homemade vanilla custard. Served warm or cold, it's the perfect side for any pudding. Flavoured with delicious Nielsen-Massey vanilla bean paste, the little flecks of vanilla give this custard the 'wow' factor when it comes to flavour and appearance. 
 
Who can resist real homemade custard? Go on, find out how you can make your own vanilla custard below... it's well worth it.

Vanilla Custard

Caramel. Moreish, rich, oozy, silky caramel…have we got your attention? Don’t be fooled this recipe may be basic in complexity, but certainly does not scrimp in flavour. We love to use Billington’s unrefined sugar to create this magic sauce and believe us this sugar elevates the flavour to unimaginable levels. It can be used to create so many scrumptious variations of caramel; velvety runny caramel sauce, crisp caramel for decorating and even the snappiest brittle that praline dreams are made from. All you need is a good heavy bottomed saucepan and a dash of patience.

Basic Caramel

What were school dinners without lashings of pink custard on your puds? Well we have a recipe that will take you straight back to the school canteen. Ideal served on steamed chocolate sponge pudding or concrete cake.&nbsp;

Pink Custard

Double Cranberry Sauce

John Whaite's delicious sesame butterscotch sauce is&nbsp;such a tasty treat and as luck would have it, it works two ways. Fresh from the pan, still hot and runny, this makes a glorious sauce for ice cream. But when allowed to cool this becomes thickly spreadable, studded with the tender, flavourful seeds.
